    Florida Cracker airboat tour
    Celeste B.

    I took this tour while vacationing in Vero Beach and had a great time! Thankfully I called in advance to make a reservation. I was very grateful that I did because I made a lot of assumptions about the available times of the tour. I assumed that the tour could be taken throughout the day but was informed that the weather determined if tours could be given. There were also quite a few tours operating in the area but from what I could see ours was the most exciting. The ride itself was fast and exciting without being too scary unlike the other tour operators who just cruised along slowly. I think younger people or those looking for a exciting ride would definitely prefer the Florida cracker airboat ride. The tour was also very educational. Captain Lawrence also made sure that we saw lots of alligators as well as their babies and other area wildlife.

    I don't care how many times I go on Florida cracker airboat every single time I totally get different view of blue Cypress Lake. One reason I go on the boat so so often is because I make sure when family come to visit that's one of the attractions that we do. Captain Lawrence is the best at what he does he get you up close and personal just like today we saw over 200 alligators very active in the water. If you've been on other boats airboats that is you must go on Florida cracker air boat because you're definitely see a difference.

    So fun! Highly recommend. Definitely suggest going early in the morning to see all the wildlife. Such a beautiful area.

    We had a great experience riding the Florida Cracker Airboat while visiting Vero Beach for the weekend. Captain Lawrence was very friendly, funny and handsome. LOL He made sure our adventure was entertaining and educational. We saw quite a few alligators big and small. We actually saw two alligators wrestling but it didn't last long once they heard the noise of the airboat. We wore headphones which were clear to hear Captain Lawrence as he guided us through the wetlands. The ride was excited when we rode off fast and that breeze felt great against your face especially since it was very hot the day we went. The fee for this tour was worth every penny and you will not be disappointed with cutey pie Captain Lawrence.

    Captain Lawrence is THE BEST! He is so knowledgeable and funny. The trip was about an hour and absolutely worth it. We saw various wildlife and my kids absolutely loved it - especially seeing the alligators. :) I highly recommend this trip to anyone who comes to the area. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

    This is the second time we have toured with Lawrence. The last time was two years ago and we had a two year old then. He was very patient with all four kids of our kids. Since the younger kids didn't really remember the ride, we decided to go again. It was just as great this time. Lawrence knows his stuff and obviously cares about the area and the wildlife. His passion comes through in his presentation. He tailored his talk to our group and did a wonderful job. There are now a bunch of operators in this area but the others seem too flashy and touristy for the natural beauty and grace of this place. I would recommend FL Cracker.

    What a fantastic experience! This morning our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids) took an airboat tour with Florida Cracker. Captain Lawrence narrated the entire tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable and funny and kept everyone's interest. In addition to the many birds (including ospreys, egrets, herons, anhingas), we saw plenty of alligators up close, which was a real treat. Our tour lasted about an hour and was enjoyed by all!

    We had a great time with Chandler today, he was very knowledgeable, great with kids and had a good sense of humor. We were late getting there and they were very nice about waiting for us. I checked out some of the other airboat rides and this definitely the best bang for the buck and kids 5 and under are free where as most of the others are kids 5 and older are same price as adults. We were out for a little over an hour and saw some alligators, turtles and lots of cool birds. At the end of the ride he gave our daughter a cool necklace with an alligator vertebrae on it. If we are ever in the area again we will chose this company and request Chandler.

    Well run. Clean. Informative. We've gone twice now, most recently with Captain Chandler. Good for young and old.

    I loved my time with Indian River Hauntings. I think I found out about them because they were on an…read moreinternet list of historical tours. The drive was a little further than I anticipated (2 hours for me) but it was worth it. Prior to the tour I didn't know anything about Fellsmere but by the time I finished my tour I was in love with the town. Larry Lawson who operates the tour is an ex cop. I like how he approaches his investigations as someone who is collecting evidence to prove or disapprove. The tour began at 7 PM at the Fellsmere City Hall which is a historic building that used to be a school. The building may be haunted as we heard banging in the elevator area during our talk. The people at the top of the stairs swore they heard footsteps in the hall behind them even though our group were the only people in the building. From city hall we walked in a circle through Fellsmere. It is very dark at night but Larry and his son and nephew took the utmost care to keep everyone safe. Other sites we visited on the tour were the Marsh Landing, The Fellsmere Inn, and the Marian Fell Library. The city of Fellsmere lets Larry have a key to all of the public buildings which was very cool. Along the way we learned about the history of Fellsmere and different paranormal experiences people have had. The tour was not hokey but very informative for a history lover such as myself. The tour concluded at the City Hall where Larry and his family let everyone play with their ghost hunting equipment. A lady showed me a spike she was getting next to an old desk in an alcove next to the stage. Everyone looked like they were having a great time and you could here a startled scream from time to time echo through the hallway. Larry also offers a tour of Vero Beach. He will also be leading tours during the Treasure Coast History Festival in downtown Fort Pierce in January. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Treasure Coast and I enjoyed talking to him. You can see dates of tours on Facebook. You can just show up for a tour or make a reservation. I opted to just show up since I live so far away and wasn't sure if I was going to make it. There was no problem with just dropping in and our tour numbered around 20 people who were super friendly. The tour only cost $12 which was super cheap for the two plus hours we spent with him. If you are in the area take a tour and even if you aren't it's worth a drive.
